I Only Marry Widows

To calm the interior, one must first expel external threats. If she cannot rid the Celestial Demon Continent of this malignancy, how can she attack the Netherworld with peace of mind?

The Netherworld once buried eighteen Celestial Venerates, directly advancing the disappearance of the Ancient Era and ushering in the Near-Ancient Era.

It can be said that the Netherworld buried the Ancient.

Throughout history, all Great Emperors and Celestial Venerates know that the Netherworld holds great secrets, the most well-known being reincarnation.

Unlike the Primordial Spirit seizing a body and reincarnating, reincarnation is a true revival into another life. Some Ancient Emperors even said that even a Great Emperor, if reborn from reincarnation, could live another hundred thousand years.

Many suspect that the Living Buddha of the Sumeru Continent is capable of accomplishing this because he has comprehended the secret of reincarnation, enabling him to live life after life, surviving from the Ancient Era until now, through this interminably long age.

Therefore, even for Celestial Venerates and Great Emperors, the secret of the Netherworld is extremely enticing.

Although many have told the legend that the Three Saints have transcended beyond the realm of Great Emperors, taking the ultimate Half-Step to become beings above a Great Emperor.

But this is merely folklore; no one can prove that the Three Saints have indeed taken that step.

Instead, the mystery of reincarnation is a real temptation for every Celestial Venerate and Great Emperor. If one can comprehend reincarnation and be reborn through it, they can live another life, enduring in the world for a hundred thousand years.

What a fortune this is?!

The Empress intends to act against the Netherworld, a move that aligns with the interests of all Great Divine Ability Users across the heavens and the earth. Even the three major Celestial Venerates, who operate like independent kingdoms, may be inclined to stand with her under the allure of reincarnation.

It can be said that by waving the banner of attacking the Netherworld, the Empress has truly secured authority over the Three Realms, gaining the allegiance of all beings and the submission of the Celestial Venerates.

This is the best time, and it is when her authority and strength are at their peak. It’s natural to seize this opportunity to take down the Celestial Demon Continent and clear internal disturbances.

But...

Who could have predicted such a shocking turn of events?

Within the Three-Life Golden Lotus, a Demon Venerable has emerged.

"This Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate won’t be easy to kill!" The Empress, with the Celestial Realm swirling in her eyes, gazed fixedly at the Three-Life Golden Lotus, "If the Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate remains undying, the Zizai Celestial Demon can be reborn in a single thought."

"She is the first Celestial Demon since the dawn of time, born of chaotic fury and enlightened into worldly existence by the Buddha; truly an undying and eternal being."

"This time, I intended to join forces with the three major Celestial Venerates to obliterate her will. Even if she were reborn from chaos, it would at least take her a hundred thousand years."

"But now, with the Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate, afraid even that much is difficult to achieve."

The Empress felt a shadow cast over her heart. Just as she was about to attack the Netherworld, such a change occurred. The ill-fated start naturally caused concern.

"No matter what, the arrow is already on the string; it must be fired."

"The Celestial Demon Continent must be eradicated!"

"As for the Zizai Celestial Demon and Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate..."

Her thoughts turned quickly to someone, the Sumeru Celestial Venerate.

"The Zizai Celestial Demon originally emerged through the enlightenment of the Buddha, and the Three-Life Golden Lotus is a supreme treasure left by the Buddha. The Sumeru Continent is the legacy left by the Buddha; the Sumeru Celestial Venerate, this Living Buddha, has an inexplicably entangled relationship with the Buddha."

"These two Demons might be resolved by the Sumeru Celestial Venerate."

At this point, she sent a direct Talisman Decree to the Lower Realm, communicating with Sumeru and making contact with the Sumeru Celestial Venerate.

...

The emergence of the Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate caused a stir throughout the Three Realms, even the Divine Court Empress was concerned, yet unaware that it was all related to Lu Chengfeng.

His pupils radiated with golden light, capable of seeing countless Great Divine Ability Users embodying heaven-transcending Dharma Forms, focusing their gaze on the Zizai Celestial Palace.

He shook his head slightly and quickly withdrew the golden light in his eyes, no longer observing these Great Divine Ability Users.

Although with his current Tao Cultivation, combined with the power of the Three-Life Golden Lotus, he could observe such Immortals and Buddhas without being noticed.

Walking along the river, how can one not get wet shoes; one must be cautious and not overly conceited.

Just like this time, he merely exercised the Divine Techniques to simulate future and peek at the Zizai Celestial Palace, yet was caught directly by the Zizai Celestial Demon.

There are too many ancient existences in the Three Realms, and too many hidden secrets; the more one knows, the more insignificant one feels.

Lu Chengfeng had no choice but to be prudent.

Especially at this time when innumerable Great Divine Ability Users are watching the Zizai Celestial Palace...

Because all this was orchestrated by him in collaboration with the Zizai Celestial Demon.

Inside the Zizai Celestial Palace, after he unwillingly served that woman, she finally relented.

"I will only announce the appearance of the Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate to the Three Realms but won’t reveal your true identity to them." The Zizai Celestial Demon’s jade-like feet were held in his embrace, being tended to with gentle care.

"I have my reasons for doing so, which you will understand in due course."

"However, if you dare betray me or if I am completely suppressed, then the Three-Life Golden Lotus will immediately return to you, and everyone will know you are truly the Victorious Buddha Demon Venerate."

"So, my dear younger brother, you must pray that I, your elder sister, remain safe!"

Lu Chengfeng turned pale at that moment. Originally inflamed when serving the jade foot of the Zizai Celestial Demon with some fervor, but in just an instant, he was deflated.

"This is tmd a con game..."

In the memories of the future hundred thousand years, the Empress joined forces with four major Celestial Venerates, together suppressing the Zizai Celestial Demon, extinguishing consciousness, even that eternally undying Demon Body being refined into an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
